What People Are Saying

"Lou Ann Hamblin is one of the finest trainers I have ever worked with. She has a keen understanding of how the human organism functions both physically and mentally and it shows in her cutting edge training programs. Lou is so much more than a firearms instructor; she is an innovator! She not only builds programs, she solves problems. She has spent her adult life training law enforcement officers and there are quite a few still alive due to her trend setting training. I am quite pleased she has decided to bring her hard learned lessons to the armed citizen arena. Listen to what she has to say... she will give you the confidence needed to PREVAIL against extreme odds"

I've known Lou Ann Hamblin for many of the long years she has been teaching law enforcement. Lou Ann has shown herself to be a superb instructor at the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers and the International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association seminars I've attended.  She was a tremendous asset when she served on the panel of experts on firearms and deadly force training that I chair annually for the latter organization. A gifted instructor for students of all genders, she is particularly skilled at teaching female students in both physical skills and mental attitude. After many years of urging her to train law-abiding armed citizens as well as police, I am delighted to learn that she is finally doing so and am not at all surprised at the excellent reviews she is earning in those classes.  Highly recommended!
